Aftercare
- Broad-spectrum sunscreen every morning without exception, reapplied every 3–4 hours outdoors
- Avoid direct heat: cooking over an open flame, saunas, steam
- Use only the prescribed topicals; skin-lightening creams bought over the counter often worsen melasma
- Wide-brimmed hat or umbrella for Mumbai daylight
When this isn't suitable
- Pregnancy: several topicals are avoided, though safe alternatives exist
- Recent sunburn or heavy tanning in the treatment area
- Active infection or eczema in the area
Tell us about any medication, pregnancy or recent treatment before booking. Nothing proceeds until Dr. Pooja has assessed you.
